    Default Street trading.

    Not a lot of people will take this as a good thing but street tax should be a thing here.
    If your the one selling an item and the trade doesn't happen through the consignment store, it should still be taxed. In not saying any certain % or anything right now, I'm merely saying it would be a healthy way to keep gold from devaluing.

    An option to split tax between the two would be fair I think. I have more but would enjoy some constructive feedback first please!

    Thank all and happy farming!

    Now the above(be honest), what would you say is your most used form of trading?


    Edit: people avoid taxes of the consignment shop to the extremes.. Healthy gold sink. I would have said street trades need to be removed but that would have went over worse. I'm thinking about the game and not you, not him, not i, the game.

    Tax should be reduced on items for less than X amount in the auction, for the lower levels to keep more of their profits.

    Thanks for all the constructive feedback guys!

    Merchants will suffer severely if that's implemented

    I have to disagree. Many people resort to selling their stuff by advertising in the towns and selling through trade, due to the fact that they can't afford the consignment shop tax.

    This ^

    @OP This is why trade was created. To give players option to sell their item without extra costs, freely to another player. It shouldn't have tax on it.

    Be more specific please? Would you say it happens to more poor people or people selling high value items? Would you agree that tax in cs should be lowered if its under a certain value?

    Also, as I mentioned, it wouldnt be like the cs, but a cheaper tax.

    It happens to everyone. Perhaps if it really is necessary, then a tax could be added when items are sold for above a certain limit.

    Indeed, ive been there many times. Most times ill go sell something of less value to earn the tax or if your able to go to gy or maus and grind it(mostly the first.) I wouldn't conclude a decision in a game over if someone can afford something at a certain time, to me that's selfish(opinion). If you cant afford it I would say" No, you cannot afford it right now".

    This thread got started when I was thinking about the upcoming expansion and if AL's player base jumped in numbers. Stg is pushing people to end game and if the gy/maus runners were to increase fairly substantially, well that's a lot of gold with nowhere to go.

    Maybe after 1-2 million gold goes in a trade window a small tax gets slapped on.I don't want this to impact the newer players or less fortunate.

    I like your idea and will drop a thanks when I can!

    Most likely maus gold drop will be nerfed with the expansion

    i completely disagree with this idea, we paying tax in cs for the luxe of selling our items easily, when we "streets" sell our things, the fact that we don't pay tax is the motivation to do it! there is many other way to balance economy!

    Just eliminate consignment fees and ppl will use the cs all the time. Less quick change trade window scams. Lots of scam issues are eliminated by just making cs the way to do most sales transactions.

    Nope. I don't cry over games good sir/madam. I'm not the richest nor most poor person in AL but a tax to sell items in town wouldn't be the end of the world and I can guarantee you I at least have the games best interests in mind. Do you have any constructive feedback or objectivity on the matter?

    With this tax youll be broke forever and will start lending golds from friends just to sold some items to get back some golds for taxes. Oops lending "using trade" still needed tax x.x youll be broke forever unless you run maus with your epic equips looted (maybe youre a collector dont have any endgame equip) but how about if this broke thing happened at lvl 30 char and it is only char you have? Farm brackenridge for some golds to pay tax to sell things?
